[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP from the thread referenced here.  I am well aware of the financial difficulties that many people face.  I [b]get that people often don't have money for gas or groceries.  I have relatives who use food banks and give plasma.  [/b]My parents earned their money through a very unglamorous business and did not grow up wealthy.  I grew up in flyover country. In my work I have also lived in some extremely disadvantaged communities (and I mean literally sharing the same housing as people who have nothing ) in the US and abroad  [b]If anything it is my DH who is completely out of touch with the financial difficulties people face.[/b]  He grew up with professional parents in a wealthy suburb and he just doesn't get that their are people who have nothing for retirement let alone to pay the rent or a car repair.  You are making some serious generalizations here.  [/quote]

Right? That OP gets everything from mommy and daddy and here she is saying her husband (who is smart and thinking about helping his brother who may have financial difficulties in the future) is the one who is out of touch. Maybe OP should give her $34K a year gift or the money her parents use to pay for her children's school and expensive vacations to her family members who are using food banks and selling plasma instead of complaining about how husband doesn't want to buy a new house.  Talk about out of touch!!!

OP - my mommy and daddy have never paid for anything for me after I graduated from college (and even then, I paid for most of college myself and with loans). You are so lucky.[/quote]
